Former Port Vale striker Rigino Cicilia has signed for FK Suduva of Lithuania.

The 23 year old become a cult figure at Vale Park last season after joining the club as part of owner Norman Smurthwaite’s Bruno Ribeiro revolution.

He signed a two-year deal after being recruited from Dutch side JC Roda for an undisclosed fee last summer.

The 6ft 5in centre forward started 19 games, making a further 16 substitute appearances and scoring five goals. But the striker, christened 'Big Reg' by fans, was released by the Valiants at the end of the season by mutual consent following the club's relegation from League One.

FK Suduva are based in Marijampole. They are third in the Lithuanian top flight and have won their last four games. They also reached the Europa League play-offs in August before losing out to Ribeiro’s old club, Ludogorets of Bulgaria.

Cicilia told the Suduva website that he didn’t know a lot about the club before signing but was settling in quickly.
